Our Story
Resonate was formed by Madeline Castrey with the aim of using music to positively change lives.
​
After overcoming serious illness as a teenager, Madeline began to put her musical experience to good use. She began staging concerts and forming ensembles to raise funds for good causes and to date has raised over £65,000. After being the first 16-year-old admitted onto a degree course at The London College of Music, Madeline is now about to complete her PhD in Music specialising in new ways of making music accessible. After a friend was diagnosed with Parkinson's, she began adapting singing techniques to improve motor function in those living with the condition. With these projects enjoying much success including national TV coverage, Madeline decided to roll out this work. She started the online initiative 'Sing Yourself Well,' providing accessible content to be used by everyone to positively impact the body and mind through music and song.
​
Resonate aims to make a meaningful difference to the lives of many individuals. With Madeline's work to date proving the extent of which music can positively impact those living with severe disability, it seemed only fitting to build this into a broader initiative.
Resonate provides musical opportunities, opportunities for specialist speech/language and music therapy and broader projects for music and wellbeing. Whether this be in the form of workshops, one to one sessions or bigger projects - we are all about making a positive difference to individuals.
